infection on soybean through host‐ and spray‐induced gene silencing [PDF]

, 2020
Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the obligate fungal pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi, often leads to significant yield losses and can only be managed through fungicide applications currently.

Mycovirus-encoded suppressors of RNA silencing: Possible allies or enemies in the use of RNAi to control fungal disease in crops

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Plants, fungi, and many other eukaryotes have evolved an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism that is key for regulating gene expression and the control of pathogens. RNAi inhibits gene expression, in a sequence-specific manner, by recognizing and deploying

Bacteria‐Trained, MnO2‐Armored Dendritic Cells for Immunotherapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
MnO2‐armored, bacteria‐trained dendritic cells undergo tumor‐responsive mechanical and immunological transformation. The nanocoating masks immune ligands and maintains a mechanically stiff, quiescent state during circulation, while the tumor microenvironment removes the armor and restores cellular deformability and immune accessibility.

GaSex Nanoparticles Modulate Neutrophil Function and Mitigate NET‐Driven Osteogenic Impairment in Osteomyelitis Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) emerge as a critical repair‐limiting factor in osteomyelitis, driving osteoblast mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy. Gallium–selenium nanoparticles (GaSex) scavenge reactive oxygen species, redirect neutrophils from NETosis toward bactericidal phagocytosis, eliminate methicillin‐

Diverging affinity of tospovirus RNA silencing suppressor proteins, NSs, for various RNA duplex molecules [PDF]

, 2010
The tospovirus NSs protein was previously shown to suppress the antiviral RNA silencing mechanism in plants. Here the biochemical analysis of NSs proteins from different tospoviruses, using purified NSs or NSs containing cell extracts, is described.

RNA Interference in Plant Interactions with Pathogenic Microorganisms: A Weapon or a Liability?

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
The RNA interference machinery is crucial for regulating the activity of both native and foreign genes across all eukaryotes. The core protein families involved in this process are Dicer-like, Argonaute, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

Oomycete small RNAs bind to the plant RNA-induced silencing complex for virulence

eLife, 2020
The exchange of small RNAs (sRNAs) between hosts and pathogens can lead to gene silencing in the recipient organism, a mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNAi (ck-RNAi).

The pivotal role of PtGH1 and PtCBM1 in facilitating host colonization during wheat leaf rust pathogenesis

Phytopathology Research
Wheat leaf rust, caused by the biotrophic fungus Puccinia triticina (Pt), is a major threat to global wheat production. Fungal pathogens often deploy plant cell wall-degrading enzymes to breach host barriers, with glycoside hydrolases (GHs) providing ...

Spray-induced gene silencing enables the characterization of gene function during pre-penetration stages in Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici

Frontiers in Plant Science
Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), the causal agent of wheat powdery mildew, poses a significant threat to global wheat production. As an obligate biotroph, Bgt is recalcitrant to stable genetic manipulation. Although host-induced gene silencing has
